Comic Market 79! Visit me Thursday Dec. 30 @ East Hall ウ32b!!

Well it's been a while hasn't it! How's it going?

If you've been following me ANYWHERE then you'd know by now that-

I MADE IT IN TO COMIKET AGAIN.

Been working pretty hard @ both work and doujin stuff, I went back home to America for a few weeks and came back Last Friday. I'm happy to say I have completed and have the copies of my new Artbook in my hands ready for Comiket:

Code Geass Cafe

Yesterday was the last day "Cure Maid Cafe" in Akihabara was doing their special "Code Geass Cafe,"

as I was informed by a fellow Geass Cosplaying friend of mine. I wanted to check this out so I decided to go check it out since it was my last chance to do so.

Application for Comiket 79

All right, so...The darn application deadline for Winter Comiket 2010 or Comiket 79 was just a few...in fact a day after frickin Comiket. I had to help out a friend apply as well so...I had a ton of stuff to do with little time.

These are the application packets I got at comiket.

These are still a requirement, because these are what provide you with

both the application code and online application code.

So I thought- what the heck, I'm gonna go learn how to apply online. I jumped to circle.ms, checked out the application pages and followed the instructions.

SUPER EASY. It totally beats filling out 6 sheets of paper full of info (you just practically fill out 1 form for online registration.) Paying by credit card was also amazingly easy, and best of all: I was able to submit my circle cut DIGITALLY!!!! I added shade and stuff to my circle cut.

My Circle cut is Marisa!!I am going with Touhou again.

However in addition, I plan to do something else also.

Maybe Vocaloid or Black Rock Shooter stuff.

So yes, I am applied for Comic Market 79. Results should be in within ....the next few months. Until then, I better keep on working on my arts :3

Comiket 78 Cosplay (Belated, again)

Pretty Nice Cosplays this year at Summer Comiket~

Taken on Saturday and Sunday :D

Warning: P3 (Picture Packed Post)

Comiket 78 Report (Belated, yes)

Well, again belated, but I should post it for goodness sake.

Comic Market 78, the first Comiket I applied to as a circle and didn't make it in. Might have been a good thing though, I managed to go with bunch of awesome dudes and even got to try out lining up from midnight (that's NO NO kids, you don't line up all night!! *wink*wink*) Anyways, here we go:

Our team assembled at Rinsabers hotel, got a nice view of Ariake from the Daiba Hotel.

Japan Post: Nakano Broadway

Belated, but thought I'd post. Went to Nakano Broadway earlier in August with a bunch of fellows :3

Japan Post: Kamakura

I'm gonna label culture related Japan posts now :P

This is belated but a group of us went to Kamakura few weeks ago,

so here's the post for it lol

*warning: P3 ( Picture-Packed-Post)

Kamakura Station! Little over an hour from Tokyo? I forget. 

Dance Dance Revolution X2 Arcade Cabinet

Visited an arcade I haven't been to in ages, I was surprised to see the DDR Cabinet Updated:

DDR X2 was installed on it.

Guess Konami is still working with DDR, makes me happy, I want this series to stay alive (...not to mention they killed off In the Groove...so they better keep up with DDR)

And with that came players. For the first time in ages I had to wait for my turn to play on the machine. I've been to hooked to Project Diva lately.

Well, there goes all my DDRX stats, my card made a new account for X2.

The basics were the same, input your name, data, choose a character and then

the two modes are now called "happy mode" or Pro Mode"

The big new thing I guess would be the song selection screen.

They went back to the old side scrolling album select layout,

honestly looks like the album flow from itunes.

Looks neat, but I think we've all gotten used to the vertical scrolling selection screen

it's gonna take some time to get used to that. They've used that since...I can remember,

DDR MAX...no before that. I think its been like that since the first cabinet?

Other than that there weren't much differences, I didn't get to check out the songs, just played my regular workout songs... and man I'm out of shape-

Well, this gives me more incentive to check out that arcade, I want to check out DDR X2 more the next time I play.

learn more at the official website (JP):

Looks like I caught Pokerus

Went and saw Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl the Movie: Phantom Ruler: Zoroark today.

I obtained the special event Celebi and got lots of pokemon goodies. I really like Zorua and Zoroark now <3

It was pretty cool, though I haven't seen a pokemon movie since......

....the first one ^^; and If I have seen others, I can't recall.

But anyways, Zoroark's voice is done by Paku Romi-

Although Zoroark just screams and stuff in the movie. But I could tell <3 lol

anyways-

Lotsa Goodies, Most of them from the theatre Arcade.

Ritsu PV Costume Prize Figure

Banpresto Prize figure. Hit the arcade again and got her. This completes the PV Version 1 set :)

My first Fate/Stay Night Nendo Puchi

Went to Sofmap and got one of these boxes...Wished for Saber all the way down the 7 flight of stairs...

SABERSABERSABERSABERSABERSABERPLZZZZZ

Hobby Japan w/ Black Rock Shooter DVD

...I forgot to buy it at wonfes, didn't occur to me that Septembers Hobby Japan was the one with the BRS DVD in it. So I went and got it at Gamers in Akihabara, it came with a cool BRS Print :)

Bought it today :D

Start of Summer Loot: Getter Go Revoltech and Figma Mio

Summer Vacation started for me today and I went down to Akihabara after school to kick off the summer with some new loot!

Actually, I had in mind to buy the Revoltech Getter Robo Go at first.

I have to mention, Getter Robo Go is THE mecha anime I grew up with. I watched it when I was like four or five and I remember being obsessed about it, I even remember this transformable toy that came with the three parts of the robot, being able to transform into its different modes.

Well, thats long gone, but seeing Getter Go Remade by Revoltech is a huge high of nostalgia for me. Bet some of you understand this feeling.

Anyways, I went to the Kaiyodo store in Akiba and bought it there. Later I realized other places sold it cheaper. But Kaiyodo gave me free Revopliers and a 10 point coin with my purchase, so I guess there is benefit from buying it at the original store :)

So here they are, Getter Go and Mio!

DD Tenshi No Sumika Harajuku

...My Blog Posts are turning more and more into Otaku stuff... not that there's anything wrong with that. Will post some art sometime soon...

Anyways!

After following Dannychoo's bloggings for a while now I have peaked a bit of interest in DD's (dollfie dreams). I knew about Super dollfies from before, seen girls collect them in cons back home in America. Also know they are wicked expensive. >_<; not sure if I'm willing to dive into it but, I thought I'd check a showroom out.

I've been to the showroom in Akihabara, small place. Today I thought I'd go to a place closer to my place- Harajuku's Volk's Showroom, them known as "tenshi no Sumika"

Taito Arcade Prize Azusa and PV Yui Figures

W00T! My prize machine skills are still hot XD
Got two figures in one day at the Taito Station Arcade!

Tokyo Anime Fair this week! I found out yesterday and attended the 

business day! (You need to over 18 and have business cards to get in on Thursday and Friday)

Saturday and Sunday are the general public day, so if you want to attend you still can!

(glad I went today, Probably will be at least 3 times crowded during the public days)

All right here we go with the overview~

WiMax Wifi Wireless Internet

Hey gang, gone are my day of scrambling around to find a wifi-signal where ever I go-

This commercial wasn't all that much of an influence to me though.

Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya!

Went and watched the Haruhi Movie on release date! XD
It was day before Valentines so I thought I`d see it that Saturday than on Sunday.
I went to the WALD cinema in Shinjuku!

Hey Long time no Blog! Winter 2010

SNOW TOKYO!

Applied for Comiket 78

Whew, With a little less than two weeks in advanced I sent my application for Summer Comiket 78 This morning. This is my circle cut you'll see if I make it-

Well Doujin and suff are good and all,

I've still been working on commissions and freelance jobs.

I'm still looking for ways to break into the industry, I found a

Seminar that'll be going on by rakujob.com

They're a company/group that specializes in helping people get into creative jobs.

That'll be held on the 31st, all day I'll be going and seeing if I get some good information out of it (the entrance fee is 50 bucks, but they say if you dont benefit from it you can get a full refund, though I know it'll be beneficial for me.)

Well thats what I have coming up, Comiket results come in on April so I can forget about until then (that gives me four months to prepare something if I make it in again)

thats all for now, cya!

My Prize luck works in Doubles

I don't know what it is, but Yesterday I went to Akihabara and at the arcade, just like last time- I wont 2 at once, only this time it was literally two with ONE coin-

I was aiming for Yui only, And maybe Azusa which was by her but looks like Mio caught up too X3

Hatsune Miku Crane Game Prize and AVATAR

Whoot! I went to Shibuya Yesterday to watch Avatar! But before that I had lunch and tried my luck at the Taito Station Arcade Crane Games... I'm not much of a UFO Catcher Player but Today seemed to be my lucky day-

:3 Time for more Blogging~

If you've read my previous posts, You probably know right now I've been needing to go to a wifi spot in order to blog and do other stuff (pain...real pain)

I discovered a wifi portal thing by my home, which I need to pay for to use internet, but Google associated sites I can access for free~ so free blogger and gmail for me XD yayy



...

Thats about it really. I plan to go out today and parts of this week to explore tokyo :3

Well, for fun I took a group Figure picture, my Nendos and Figures (I have here in Japan) and stuff together for the first time- whee!

Oh I took some other pic too huh

Went to a Korean Place yesterday and had Chige

I think I went to Shbuya Last Week, Mc Donalds were doing this funny Special Burger thing- BIG AMERICA. Featuring the Texas, New York, California, And Hawaiian Burger.

But here's the catch-

Each McDonalds has only one of the special burgers SO if you want to try them all you need to visit a different Mcdonlds for each one.

The one I came across had the Hawaiian burger so I tried it.

It was alright, nothing great or anything.

But seems like McDonalds over here does something weird every month lol

Well thats all for now! Chao!

Atami

I went to Atami with my relatives couple days ago...
